SAFETY
NB: To guarantee opmal performance and safety, Jøtul
recommends that its stoves are fied by a qualified installer (see
www.jotul.com for a complete list of dealers).
Any modificaons to the product by the distributor, installer
or consumer may result in the product and safety features not
funconing as intended. The same applies to the installaon of
accessories or oponal extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may also
be the case if parts that are essenal to the funconing and safety
of the fireplace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable for
the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null and
void.
FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES
There is a certain element of danger every me you use your
fireplace. The following instrucons must therefore be followed:
The minimum safety distances when installing and using the
fireplaces are given in the figures on the following pages.
• Ensure that furniture and other combusble materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Combusble materials must not be
placed within 1,000 mm of the fireplace opening.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never exnguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-flammable
container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emped in a place where
it will not pose a potenal fire hazard.
In case of a fire in the chimney:
• Close all openings and valves.
• Keep the door to the firebox closed.
• Call the fire department.
• Ensure that the fireplace and the chimney are inspected and
given a green light by a professional before you start to use the
fireplace again aer an outbreak of fire.
FLOOR
Foundaons
You must make sure that the foundaon is suitable for the fireplace.
See “Technical Data” for specified weight.
We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not aached to
the foundaon (“floang floors”) beneath the installaon.
Requirements for protecon of combusble
floors under the fireplace
The product can be installed directly on a combusble floor that
is covered by a sheet of metal or other non-flammable material.
Recommended thickness is a minimum of 0.9 mm).
The funcon of a floor plate is to protect the floor and flammable
materials against embers. Jøtul recommends that floor covering
made of flammable material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc., be
removed from under the floor plate.
The floor plate must comply with naonal laws and regulaons.
Contact your local building authories regarding restricons and
installaon requirements.
For Norway: Minimum 300 mm in front of the door and width at
least the same as the door.
WALLS
• Place the product in such a way that it is possible to clean the
stove, the flue pipe and the chimney passage.
• Ensure that furniture and other combusble materials are not
too close to the fireplace.
• Make sure that furniture and other household items are not so
close as to get dried up by the stove.
Distance to walls made of combusble material – see the figures on the
following pages.
The distances relate to a shielded flue pipe/semi-insulated pipe.
The fireplace can be installed with an uninsulated flue pipe. In this case,
the flue pipe must be CE marked and the pipe’s declared distance to
flammable materials must be taken into consideraon.
Combusble wall protected by firewall
Distance to combusble wall protected by firewall – see the figures
on the following pages.
Requirements for firewall
The firewall must be at least 110 mm thick and made of brick,
concrete or lightweight concrete. Other materials and structures
with sasfactory documentaon may also be used, e.g. 50 mm Jøtul
Firewall.
Non-flammable materials refer to materials that cannot burn, e.g.
bricks, les, concrete, mineral wool, various silicate plates, etc. Bear
in mind that a short distance to non-flammable walls can result in
the drying out and discolouraon of paintwork, as well as lead to
the formaon of cracks.
CEILING
There must be a minimum distance of 750 mm between the
fireplace and a ceiling made of a combusble material above the
fireplace.
